Help Me Figure Out This Liberal Movie "The Last Supper"

"It looks like Luke was right about him though, as he kills off the guests even though he has already pesuaded them by debate. The end of the movie suggests that Arbuthnot is on his way to becoming the next US (Hitler-like?) president."

No, no, no. You missed the symbolism. The liberals were poisoned with their own views/wine. Norman didn't kill them. He didn't taste the wine or "know" that it was poison. He merely correctly reasoned that the liberals should rightly drink what they served.

Their own behavior killed them. Had they only placed a bad wine (as they told norman at the start of dinner) at the table, they'd still be alive...

Anyways, there is a character throughout the movie who is on TV that resembles what a liberal sees Rush Limbaugh as. He gets to be the last guest. I wonder if indeed the film makers shaped him from Rush. And I wonder why they allow him to win at the end.

Because it is NOT a "liberal movie"! This films makes fun of the liberal worldview and shows the world through their eyes. The reactionary types invited to their last suppers look exactly the way the liberals perceive the conservatives, and as such they are the caricatures. The end shows that Rush Limbough type is infinitely smarter and more sofisticated that those supposedly intelligent leftists are. And the films shows that liberal smugness and self-righteousness end in murders.

But it is an equal opportunity satire and if you felt offended you might need to reflect a little.

I have to say I like this.

I watched the end of the movie - from the time they meet Arbuthnot at the airport - again last night. I didn't come to your conclusion at first but I'd be inclined to agree with you now. I'd love to hear what the director had in mind. Do you think Arbuthnot was in earnest about what he was saying at the table?

"Do you think Arbuthnot was in earnest about what he was saying at the table?"

Yes. He won via honest debate. His ideas triumphed and he never waivered, yet the liberals wanted to use force to overwhelm him anyway.

The table was turned, however, and their own values killed them.

It was the epitome of poetic justice. It spoke volumes about what is happening on politically correct college campuses, with only "one correct view" being tolerated by most institutions and their radical students, or else...
